Cotton Candy Cookies 💖🍪💙
Ingredients:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cotton candy extract
2-3 drops pink food coloring
2-3 drops blue food coloring
½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
½ cup crushed cotton candy (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and cotton candy extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Divide the dough in half, tinting one portion pink and the other blue.
Gently swirl the two dough colors together, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips if using.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Garnish with crushed cotton candy before serving. Enjoy!
